General Overviews

Lamentations has traditionally been ascribed to Jeremiah. [3] [4] [12] The ascription of authorship to Jeremiah derives from the impetus to ascribe all biblical books to inspired biblical authors, and Jeremiah being a prophet at the time who prophesied its demise was an obvious choice. [3] Additionally in 2 Chronicles 35:25 Jeremiah is said to have composed a lament on the death of King Josiah, [3] [4] [12] but there is no reference to Josiah in the book of Lamentations and no reason to connect it to Jeremiah. [12] However, the modern consensus amongst scholars is that Jeremiah did not write Lamentations; like most ancient literature, the author remains anonymous. Most likely, each of the book's chapters was written by a different poet, and they then were joined to form the book. [3] [4]

Not only does the author of the book witness the results of the recent destruction of Jerusalem, he seems to have witnessed the invasion itself (Lamentations 1:13–15). Jeremiah was present for both events. Where are we? A standard scholarly introduction to the major issues in Lamentations research, though now somewhat dated; particularly useful for historical-critical issues. In Lamentation, Joe Clifford displays the same muscular prose, unsparing insight and generous heart he exhibited in his stunning debut, Junkie Love. This is a tale of small-town secrets and the troubled, unfathomable, unbreakable bond of brothers." —David Corbett, award-winning author of The Art of CharacterHillers, Delbert R. (1993).
